| mae7i | Posted 08/03/12 01:36AM  Changed 00/00/00 12:00AM | |  | Hi I just purchased Fitter 35 and I have 30 days till my show. On the HSC website under feeding stratagies in the holding catagorie it says to feed 8 onces a day for 21 days. Is it ok for me to start useing this product at 8 onces a day 30 days out to get more muscle, lose cover, and hold him? Also do you gradualy get up to feeding him 8onces a day or can you just start him right off the bat with 8? Thank you! When it comes to trying to hold a lamb I am definetly a Newbie because over 8 years of raising lambs I never once had to hold one!

I would start with less, then increase if needed.
